This would make me laugh if I wasn't about to be sick. This comes in the same week that the council refused a fare increase that would higher the average cab drivers wages to £4 an hour, I do 70 hours a week and don't come close to even half the hourly rate that the council pays its staff, and with the pensions on top, they are not living in the real world. No wonder they are always smiling.

And what will the council do about all the local employers not offering a 'living wage'?

Only one thing, increase our council tax.

I SO wish that the whole lot of them, from top to bottom get sacked and permanently banned from working in any local authority in the United Kingdom ever again. Deport them off the planet too!

And they had the nerve to go on strike over their bloated pensions that we pay for out of our hard earned money, these people really do need a reality check.

These days you can get an award from anyone just so the the award giver can justify its existence. These award givers often exist from public funds.

If the scheme was so fantastic why are so few signed up?

The council can sign up for it since it can probably recover this from the tax payer, through council tax or other paid for services.

They are on planet Zog, and really need a reality check. Next time they're on strike, go and protest by the picket line. Cover your mouth with gaffer tape, because the council won't listen anyway.

34% of your council tax goes to pay pensions.

Are all of you lot above taking something? For a 37 hour week, £8 per hour will get you a little over £15k. Clearly in the realms of the fat cats aren't they!?

Niko, that is for the lowest grade, doing a Mcjob, that would not even merit minimum wage, it would be fairer for the council to publish all the grade wages.

I'm glad the Council pay a sensible wage. BUT only as long as they employ the right number of people. Over-staffing is not only wasteful of Council Tax money which few can now afford, but also demoralising to staff-a continuing big public sector problem

Must be doing something wrong as the cabbies I know in Oxford all live in big houses. Royal Cars also paying more than this.
